Setting Up a Bluehost AccountIf you choose to buy your domain and email through Bluehost,there is a handy tool in the resources section below that lets yousearch for an available domain name and purchase the Basic Planto register it and set up your account.1. Enter your desired domain name in the box. (Read ahead a fewpages for info on selecting a good domain name).2. Select an extension, or leave it at .com (recommended).3. Hit that green button to check availability.4. If it’s already taken it will prompt you to try again.5. If your domain name is available, then click Next to open a newtab where you enter your information.Note: The domain name tool automatically selects the Basic Planfor you, which is the cheapest Bluehost plan and allows you tocreate 5 custom email addresses.Bluehost can change their pricing at any time, but they wouldhave to go up significantly before it would be worth purchasingyour domain and custom email addresses from Wix instead. Besure to research and compare before making your decision.There are some extra options to select, some of which areselected by default. I will show you which ones you need on thenext page.Scroll down to the resources section below the guide to access the Domain Name Tool.12
Filling out your personal and payment info is prettystraightforward. However there are two sections of the page thatoffer a couple optional extras. Bear in mind you are purchasingtwo things here:• Hosting For Email• Extras for your free domain name (You would need to purchasethese from any other provider as well).Hosting For EmailUnder Package Information you can see Account Plan. This is setto 3 years by default. you can change it to 2 or 1 years but it willbe more per year.Hosting For EmailDomain Name ExtrasThis gets you 5 email addresses at about $35/year, while G Suitethrough Wix would have been 1 address at $50/year.Domain Name ExtrasUnder Package Extras, you will want to make sure DomainPrivacy Protection and SiteLock Security are checked.Codeguard is a daily backup feature but Wix has automaticbackups as part of their service. The other options areunnecessary for now in my opinion.You can click on More Information under each to read up on thesefeatures.13Prices in USD
